Hi,
The so called Fragebogen (questionnaire) details may be of help. They were mandatory forms required by the Nazis of all Jews after the Anschluss and covered issues of emigration. They are available on MyHeritage or else the IKG in Vienna. They may help you find a visa application. Sent from Mail for Windows

You had a far better chance of obtaining a visa if you had family members already in the states, signing affidavits that they will vouch for you financially so that you were not likely to become a public charge.
Assuming your Viennese family did indeed get to the states, you're likely to find the names of those who vouched for them in the ships' manifests. -- Odeda Zlotnick Jerusalem, Israel. |

My grandparents obtained US Immigration visas in Vienna in 1940. My mother and her sister obtained US immigration visas in Vienna in 1939. A significant number of additional family members also obtained US visas in those years. Question: How do I find out how/why the visas were obtained for so many in the family when the number of visas was severely limited? Perhaps this topic has been researched by others. Are there insights, frameworks, records, books, or similar that might assist me in researching this? I welcome any assistance on this topic.
